License tagging for Image:RaymondFraser.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RaymondFraser.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. In response to your note at the talk page of teh article, there is a difference between being available to the public and public domain. See Wikipedia:PD#Public_records. The government of Canada reserves copyright in its content, and we would need evidence that Arts NB does not to retain material, even if issued in press releases. As our copyright FAQ notes:

Occasionally, the question is raised about the copyright status of press releases. While press releases are by nature intended to be reproduced widely, there is no inherent permission to alter them or create derivative works based on them, or to use them for commercial purposes. Accordingly, press releases are handled like other copyrighted content. In the absence of explicit disclaimer or permission, these may not be freely reproduced.

If Arts NB would like to issue an explicit disclaimer or permission, they are welcome to do so. They can either place it on their website or send an email to the Wikimedia Foundation; please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials if you are affiliated with Arts NB or Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission if you are not. You are welcome to come by my talk page (which you can reach by following "talk" after my username below) if you need assistance with that process.

In the meantime, we are not able to publish that text, I'm afraid, and it has had to be removed from the article. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 12:10, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
